Black Snow 360 Brand Shisha


Recommended Posts

I mentioned a brand in an earlier thread called exotic 360 and no one had heard of it. So I went back to my local shop and got some smile.gif Because I love tangerine dream by Starbuzz I got "California Tangerine" which smells and hopefully tastes exactly the same and their version of blue mist since Outbreakpb sent me some SB to try I thought it'll work out that way so I can do a fairly good comparison. I don't remember the name of the Blue Mist stuff because they were out but the guy found some that they had yet to put in the tin which he COULDN'T find, yeah they get the baccy shipped in pouches and the tins seperate and do it there in the shop smile.gif Kinda cool.

Very noteworthy (if I find it to be good) that the cost at the shop is 12 bucks a 250 or 2 for 20 which is of course less than half the price of Starbuzz which I feel would be worth the buy at 10 bucks.

I also noticed that they list a website on the packaging but the site is said to be under development when you try to go there.

VERY INTERESTINGLY the number on the baccy is the phone number to the shop I go to. The Michigan branch of Al-Amir importers. So it actually IS the guy's brand and he wasn't bs-ing me like I thought he might've been, which explains why none of you have seen it yet, I have the exclusive smile.gif

With no further ado, a few pictures:

af coco coals only 4 bucks for the 30pk too










random - my friend Will's first ever smoke - got him hooked tonight, not my fault his cloud sucks lol




If you can pick out the info it says it's Made in Jordan with French tobacco and has a .05 nicotine content and a 0% tar content lol, and it's honey based. They had a SHITTON of flavors and although I didnt think to bring my camera though I made a mental note to snap some photos next time so here are the ones I remember.

Black Grape, White Grape, Tangerine, Citrus Mist, Bubblegum, Apple Cinnamon, Sour Apple, Strawberry Margherita, Fruity Rum, Tropical Fruit, arabic coffee which smelled great, Fuzzy Navel, Lemon Mint, Spearamint, Grape Mint, Blueberry, Blueberry Grape, Orange, Double Apple, Apple, Caramel Apple, THEY HAVE A REDBULL FLAVOR that's called energy buzz or something which I'ma pick up next time, Black Watermelon which smells EXACTLY like watermelon bubble-icious mmmmmm, Melon Blend which also smelled great, cola, mojito, one called Kiss with lips on it, passion kiss, guava, and sour pomegranate (mmmm)

that's all I remember from the images my brain snagged but there were as many as SB makes if not more, alot of mixed drink ones too it was really cool if you like the exotic type lines.

If this brand is any good I may have hit something really cool and the guy in the shop today gave me the two tubs, some mizo peach and the AF coals for 30 instead of 31 when I told him I was reviewing it for a forum and was excited to try it out. YOU GUYS AND GALS SAVED ME A DOLLAR, WOOOO!!!!!!!

Even if it ends up a hit or miss brand like SB which I'm assuming it will, the guys who import/"make" it are really cool guys and I hope they succeed if they decide to take it to distributers.

I'll link the reviews to this thread when they are up.

I might be up to try flavors you guys want to see if the ones I got turn out alright.

that's nuts, they're targeting sb with a passion. are you an sb person? let us know how it compares.
i have some knowledge in the industry but i don't know this for fact, but i think it's the same people/product as skyzz, just based on location. if they ever get distribution sb will be really pissed.
on another subject i am not sure about the whole french connection, i believe its all jordan tobacco, same as sb, but at least they say it's made there unline sb who says it's made in the us, which again i think is false, they jst package it here and get to say its us made.
good find, keep us posted

will do John, it might be the same stuff as Skyzzz, the packaging is very similar, I had Skyzzz chocomint and it was alright, a litle too much of a cocoa taste for me.

I'm def more a Nakhla, Tangiers, SOME AF person but I do LOVE tangerine dream and a couple other SB flavs I've had have been alright, flavor fades too fast though.

btw do they still have the jars of shisha setting out where you just take out as much as you want and then take it to the counter for them to weigh it? (think this is the shop I am thinking of been 5 years so not to sure.)

No reviews yet, I've been having setup problems with my normal review pipe and the vase broke on the other, sorry peoples.

Although I did get a sample of the black watermelon from my friend so I'll have that as well.

All I can tell you so far is that it produces monstrous clouds as expected, check the personal pic for evidence.

had a thought. The two tins of Skyzzz I had were 0.5% nicotine and had Honey and Glycerin in it. This is just Honey and 0.05% Nicotine. So if it truly is the new skyzzz... I hope this didn't ruin it. I preferred Skyzzz over Starbuzz.

Skyzz was the NASTIEST stuff id ever tasted. Their peach was DISGUSTING and the Irish Cream smelled so bad I didn't even want to TRY smoking it.

And yes, Skybuzz, AKA Skyzz, AKA blacksnow 360 is made in Jordan, same place I understand Starbuzz makes MOST of their flavours. The guy who started it apparently had a personal ax to grind with the guys from Starbuzz.

don't you just love this industry, it goes kind of like this, hi friend, nice product you have there we should work together as friends and when i get as much info out of you as i can i will steal your novel idea and become your sworn enemy and take your ideas, make a cheaper version, sell it for cheaper in a feeble attempt to destroy you, which in reality is impossible.
Now I am taking sides, I know the SB guy, I heard of the MI guy, if they got in a fist fight I couldn't root for one or the other, but I have to admit I love this drama.

so, you don't want that tangerine dream i had packaged for you Mark?


You lovely man, of course I do smile.gif It's still my second favorite flavor ever only second to Nakhla DA. Thanks Jay smile.gif

The problem I'm having is that the 360 might be light on flavor but I'm not sure. The next night I smoked Nak DA which has a very potent flavor from the same setup and it was also very much lacking flavor so I don't feel like I've had a good control for the reviews. I tried the tangerine in the used syrian I bought and it SEEMED to have more flavor but the pipe isn't airtight yet, I have to fix it up, so that wasn't the best experiment either rolleyes.gif

Anyone else ever have periods where all their shit just seems to go wrong?
